Ionization in circuit breaker is facilitated by___________?

Correct answer: D. all of the above

  • A. high temperature
  • B. increase of mean free path
  • C. increasing field strength
  • D. all of the above

Explanation

Ionization is promoted by high temperature, which increases particle energy, a longer mean free path, which allows more ionizing collisions, and stronger electric fields, which accelerate charged particles. Therefore, all three effects facilitate ionization.
